To me the font sizes look the same on caps from EK and iomania. They are from Topre and I don't think Topre makes two different sets.

On tsangans HHKB ( http://geekhack.org/album.php?albumi...chmentid=38162 ), it seems the letters on the purple keys are smaller, but it could be because there is font size difference between HHKB and Realforce.

I hear that key caps for RF will have identical shape to HHKB caps, but font size are different. (I am talking about the fonts on top of key caps. Of course, there are side prints on HHKB. )

I already talked with Kisakuku about the font size of the topre keycaps, that was he said.

...the iomania ones are from Leopold, so they match their font size for the full key cap sets (and for the 10th anniversary 87U).

And my Realforce 88UB has the smaller font. *doh*

Look at this photo if you think all Topre legends have the same font:

Compare WASD to the rest of alphanumeric legends.

The 10th anniversary edition has bigger fonts, it's odd

Interesting. I didn't know there is font size difference between key caps. If there is this differences between font sizes across different editions or models, than new or previous version of wasd keys from EK may be same as the ones from iomania (or different).

Do you have any information on sizes of fonts across versions?
